The score was 5-2 when Colombo left the game, it was 7-2 whem Cardenas entered it, the final result was 8-2. upps, sorry , didn´t want to post this in the bug forum, should have been discussions, but it´s around 1 am sunday in germany and I´m drunk Updated Saturday, February 27 2016 @ 4:18:37 pm PST

My starter Alcantar gave up a home run to start the 5th inning and was pulled. Mooney came in and threw four pitches, giving up another solo homer. He was pulled. Solomon comes in and pitches two innings, and the score remains 5-3 to me while he is in the game. So Solomon gets the win? No, Mooney did, and he didn't even get an out! That can't be right, can it?

IE: If B relieves A in the 5th, walks two, then C comes on and retires the next three, C gets credit for the win. Could something like that be a possibility?
